John C. McGinley Will Play Boss to Tyler Perry's Alex Cross

Scrubs' John C. McGinley's technique of belittling his subordinates with ladynames will likely soon prove ineffective as he begins commanding around someone who already goes by a female moniker whenever they're able. The actor is now in talks to join Summit's Alex Cross reboot as chief of police--a role that will place him opposite our new Cross, Tyler Perry. Given McGinley's superior ranking and knack for shouting, expect some tension between those two. But probably nothing a little grandmotherly sass can't mend over some grits, right, Madea? Hallelujer.
